Lovely hotel opposite Hythe beach. Beautiful outside spaces and we'll cared for garden.The spa is quite basic but has everything you need, sadly no outside furniture on the patios here which was disappointing considering the Lovely weather.The food is the restaurant was amazing and the young service staff were a credit to the place.A lovely relaxed weekend in beautiful surroundings. Would definitely recommend both the hotel and restaurant.

just returned from an overnight stay at this hotel. We booked a classic double with dinner and breakfast. The room was lovely and looked new. If staying for a longer there could be a shortage of clothes space. …

Absolutely everything excellent. We didn’t go for a sea view so paid considerably less than those who would have opted for a sea view. But for what we paid, excellent value. Incredibly clean, fresh and welcoming staff. Ideal location for getting into Folkestone with a fair amount on the local high street. I may not have been quite as ecstatic in my review if id have spent that bit more on a sea view room but for what we paid, we’ll certainly be back.

This was our second visit to the Hotel. It's a very smart hotel throughout and has a lovely formal garden area out front. Reception staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was very clean and "roomy". Our bed was big and comfortable and the shower,a "rainfall " type was lovely. We had a drink in the bar in the afternoon of our second day. I met Chloe the bar attendant and had a lovely chat about our favourite whiskies.

This has become my favourite hotel in the UK. I always book it when it's at a reasonable price, as it does seem to double every now and then. I love hythe. The old town and the beach walks. The last time i booked, (august) i got a free upgrade. So it got even better. Loved the room. The staff are always great. The bar ran out of cider though !!!!!Look forward to next time i stay.

We stayed at the Hythe Imperial three years ago so when visiting friends in the area we decided to go back. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We requested a high floor quiet room and this was granted. …

Me and my husband have stayed at the Hythe many many times. We first visited the hotel a few years ago for my husband’s 30th birthday. We were both so impressed, we have continued to revisit and we booked our wedding here.  …
